[QUOTE="Spuckler, post: 287238"] First off, after seeing someone else "persuaded" to search the forums before posting about something because it has probably been posted before, I did just that. I got through about 50 some odd posts and didn't really see the answer I was looking for...Please forgive me if i needed to search another 100 more to find the answer. But anyways, here goes... ;) I read up a bit on Parallels and Boot Camp, but again, I still don't find any "real" answers to my burning questions. Actually, I think I can boil it all down to one question, ok maybe not. 1. Are any of you long-term Mac users out there hardcore gamers? 2. If so, what has been your experience so far loading up and running games on an Intel-based Mac using either of the two programs listed above? 3. Do you prefer one over the other? If so, why? 4. Dual-booting the Mac to WXP...now, I might be over analyzing here, but wouldn't this potentially open up the Mac to WXP-based viruses? 5. Any other tips you could provide me with? If I purchase, I'm going for the G5-type machine...I figured it would be closest to my slightly outdated current PC. I know a lot of people insist that if I want to play games I should get a console, but I'm a hardcore on-line gamer with passions for Counter-Strike, WoW (Yeah I know I can get it made for the Mac, but I don't want to buy it twice.), Day of Defeat, EQ2, upcoming Vanguard, etc. but I also like single player only ones like NWN2 and Splinter Cell. Thanks, Spuck p.s. Now, if I happen to find myself a Wii in the next couple months...then I'll just skip the computer gaming and go to a console. :) [/QUOTE]
